Abstract

The article focuses on the hearing and vision problems due to age factors and on how the eye care practitioners usefully adapt their communication skills when dealing with these patients. It states that more than half of the entire people with ages over 60 are gradually losing their hearing ability associated with the aging process known as presbycusis. It notes that ensuring a quiet environment is one of the guidelines considered by the practitioners to effectively communicate these patients.
